The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has announced a two-day shutdown of the Weija Treatment Plant beginning Friday, May 16.<\/p>\n

The shutdown, according to them, is to allow work on their equipment to improve the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

The Chief Manager in charge of Public Relations at the GWCL, Michael Agyeman on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Thursday said some valve installations have to be made on the Weija transmissions lines around Odorkor.<\/p>\n

This, he said will help the company \u201cintroduce some positive improvement in our water delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Agyeman noted that one of the major challenge the company faces is leakages therefore, the installation of the valve will aid repair works without the company resorting to a total shutdown of its machines.<\/p>\n

The valve will be installed on a 36-inch transmission line at Odorkor.<\/p>\n

The areas to be affected by the shutdown are; Kasoa, CP, Nyanyaano, Amanfro, Obom Road and Weija, Tetegu, \u00a0McCarthy Hill, SCC, Tuba, Brigade, Bortianor, Mallam, Gbawe, Odorkor, Awoshie and Sowutuom.<\/p>\n

The rest include: Israel, Achimota, Ofankor, Galilea, Abeka, Lapaz, Tesano, Darkuman, Bubuashie, Kaneshie, Awudome, Industrial Area, Mataheko, Korle Bu and Abossey Okai.<\/p>\n

Mr. Agyeman therefore advised residents in these areas to store-up water before the shutdown on Friday<\/p>\n
